he took a shot at mitt romney last night. let's listen to that shot. maybe it's along the lines you're talking here. >> we don't need to nominate obama lite. we don't need to nominate someone who's going to blur the lines between president obama and our nominee. when you take a look at what mitt did from the standpoint of romeny care in massachusetts, you're going to have a hard time finding a difference between obama care and romney care. >> obama lite. you know, somebody's doing good jobs coming up with those slogans. i used to do it, i think it's a great piece of work there. obama lite stings, doesn't it? >> certainly on romney care, and you got to know that the first debate between mitt romney, should he get the nomination and president obama, president obama will preemptively thank him for the idea of the individual mandate. and that undermines republicans one of the most potent arguments against the president. >> you mean, if it's romney versus obama, obama will just kiss him on the cheek during the first debate for giving him the idea, and that

we have 71% reporting, but obviously a big night for governor romney. gingrich at 23%, and then ron paul. and the delegate counts, romney at 83, and gingrich at 28, and the magic number is 1144. where are we? >> well, the big news is conservatives did so well for raomne romney. i think it's out with a huge issue, the idea that the perception of the religious freedom. it's a sense that we have to beat this guy, obama, okay, romney is good enough. it's significantly healed any wounds that existed between romney and the evangelicals. >> 80% of people say that insurance -- anybody providing health insurance should be provided contraception. all of the republican field has gone very far right specifically on the issue of contraception. campaigning against the availability of birth control in america is going to run into a 21st century feeling. >> you can try to make it a religious issue. the president of the united states, they said you cannot live your beliefs. one thing that is government expands every sector of society, it crowds out private life. all of

i thought romney did well. i do think actually newt had a good night. he actually had the audience at one point booing fox news in his favor. actually they were booing chris wallace of fox news. that's one of the easier people to boo. >> joe. >> let me finish. huntsman, his voice was shaky. did nino tis? huntsman actually soundedr in voice when he was talking. i didn't get it. my big takeaway last night is somebody like michele bachmann is tailer made for hot august night a year before serious presidential elections when iowa, the whole world focuses on iowa. it's like this conspiracy. it's the base of both parties, mainly the base of the republican party in iowa pushing somebody that is never going to win, never going to get close to winning the presidential nomination, never get close to being a vice president, never goes to being relevant a year from now. you've got the republican base doing that in iowa. it's like a conspiracy because then the media can run articles on these people who are on the far right and point for a year about, look how whacke
